I agree with the history on the 5th XV "silverbacks", they have definitely been around in that form since 2017. I have a bit of a dissenting view though l I think creating an environment where the year 12 boys with no aspirations for the firsts/seconds teams playing for premierships can play their final years as a group captures exactly what rugby should be. A great chance to make memories that last for a life time, as well as avoid some of the sillier things that come with vying for GPS premierships.
Sparkle, it's BP
Couldn't agree more, my mate who's son finished last year was telling me about a similar group of boys at View who wanted to play fairly competitive rugby but didn't want the commitment of going to the gym and the other stuff that entails a 1st/2nd/3rd XV role. They played 4th XV but the school was "hell bent" on disbanding their team even though they were all good enough to be playing in the 4th's. All the good aspects of rugby without the BS. Loved to hear about it.
